Making GIFs with python and MoviePy


From this day on my favorite method of making GIFs out of video file has become via python with MoviePy module. Description of module from module’s page reads:

MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations (like cuts, concatenations, title insertions), video compositing (a.k.a. non-linear editing), video processing, or to create advanced effects. It can read and write the most common video formats, including GIF.

It’s creator wrote a nice post on how to make a GIFs which helped me to get started in what I was looking for.
